CHAP. CLIV. Another Green Enamel.
THE colour of this following, is something dif∣ferent from the former, but no less excellent: Take six Pound of Principal Powder, two Ounces of Feretto of Spain, prepared as in Chap. 23. forty eight Grains of Crocus Martis, prepared with Vinegar ac∣cording to direction in Chap. 25. make these into an impalpable Powder, and mix 'em well, and put them into your White glazed Pot; let it remain in the Furnace to melt and refine the Matter; cast it after this into Water, and again into your Pot, having dryed it before, until it refine very well; when 'tis melted, observe whether the colour be satisfactory, and let it stand some hours longer to refine, and when 'tis taken off, you'll have a very fine Green Enamel for Goldsmiths.
If the colour be too faint, add more tinging Pow∣der proportionably enough to perfect it.
